Mine were and many many others also, especially the first one. Both Voodoos drank oil and the first one was replaced for it under 3k miles IIRC. The second one made it to 10k before it was going to need a replacement as well for the same reason. That plus eating drivers side rear half shafts and other vibration issue related stuff around the car. Weird clutch/transmission behavior and on and on. I traded my 17 and moved on. Do some digging on M6G and you’ll find a 100 plus page thread strictly related to engine replacements. I’ve never seen so many regular members of any forum have so many engines replaced. That plus plenty of other quality/reliability issues.
Ford is having a lot of engines replaced across their line due to cam phaser issues/oil consumption etc. I wouldn’t of leased a new F-150 if it wasn’t for the unbelievable deal I got on it and the promise of a F-150 loaner from my dealer when things go wrong.
Chevs and others have obviously had their well publicized issues over the years, but there is no way I’d trust a new Ford product, especially one like the GT500 the first couple of years. If wait and see what happens with the early adopters.
